ST. LOUIS – St. Louis Closet Company has an excellent eye for closet manufacturing and organizational spaces, but their vision far exceeds interior design.
President Jennifer Williams started Closets for a Cause at the beginning of 2020 and since then has donated over $40,000 to local charities.
Williams has always given back to the community, but after seeing how businesses and organizations were struggling through the pandemic, she knew she could do more to help. Through Closets for a Cause, St. Louis Closet Company partners with local area charities to help make the community more aware of the resources available to them and spread the organization’s mission.
